Vision
To create and empower social entrepreneurial organizations (SEOs)
by providing them with guidance in leadership, and institutional
development.
Goals
- To assist directly in the achievement of optimal results by
social entrepreneurial organizations that address critical needs of
society, through planning, implementation, and evaluation.
- To identify social innovations which address critical needs of
society, and help create SEOs to sustain and scale up the
innovations.
- To enhance the thinking abilities of social entrepreneurs and
their organizations by building a knowledge and skill base through
teaching, training, and research.
Founding Principles
- To commit to action and result orientation, and
obsession with result producing methodologies, which are
ethically bound and ethically executed.
- To understand our clients’ philosophies and act as their
partners, and ‘friend, philosopher and guide’.
- To serve, ultimately, the poorest constituencies, and in
order to fulfill this, we work pro bono.
- To act as a liaison and to leverage resources between
the professionals and the elite of the society, who have the
resources, networks, and power, and those organizations that
are dedicated to the poor, the weak, and the unrepresented.
Why ILID?
- India is the largest experiment in the democracy ever
attempted in human history.
- For it to succeed we need great institutions in every
sector of society, as they are the prime instruments of
social change and socio economic development.
- In turn enlightened leaders are needed to create, lead,
nurture, and sustain such institutions.
- Individuals by themselves however brilliant, dedicated,
or resource rich cannot hope to enhance the well being of a
society single handed.
- However it is individuals with the “three I’s” –
Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence who are sorely needed
to create and lead institutions.
- ILID is an institution to help build such leaders and
institutions.
- We hope to accomplish this goal by developing the
leadership potential along with world-class systems and
processes, which together can achieve long term progress.
